its not like its hard to find them again. its a solid chunk of metal that just goes straight down, you could go collect it if you want. and itll just rust away anyways, its hardly anything compared to the entire mass of the titanic those weights landed next to.
but yeah all this exploration shit is usually hilariously polluting and/or nightmarish for the environment. theres an estimated 50 fucking tons of garbage at just the top camp of mount everest. humans fuck shit up so fast.
